What some fans want for GTA 6’s story intro could actually make it boring
With GTA 6 set for a Fall 2025 release and Rockstar remaining completely silent since dropping the first trailer in December 2023, fans continue to speculate wildly about what the game will look like. From debates over how much GTA 6 will cost, whether its lighting will look like GTA 5 Enhanced, and if preorders can be trusted, one recurring discussion in the community is how the game will begin. One theory that keeps resurfacing is that the GTA 6 map will be restricted at the start of the story, forcing players to progress through the opening chapter to unlock the full world. This speculation comes from a small detail in the promotional images released so far. GTA 6 fans think the game might start in prison or right after Lucia gets out In one of the promotional images, Lucia, one of the main characters, is wearing an ankle monitor. That likely means she’s still being watched by the police even though she’s no longer in prison. Because of this, some players believe GTA 6 could start with Lucia either still in prison, getting released, or just out but unable to move freely because of the monitor.

But at the same time, it might annoy players who just want to jump in and explore the world right away. And if we look at how Rockstar has handled this kind of thing before, there’s a chance it won’t go over well with everyone. Red Dead Redemption 2’s intro proves a slow start can get boring Red Dead Redemption 2 starts with a pretty restricted first chapter, mainly to teach players the game’s mechanics. While that makes sense for new players, a lot of people found it slow and frustrating over time. In fact, many experienced players keep an extra save file right at the start of Chapter 2, just so they never have to go through that intro again. https://www.reddit.com/r/RDR2/comments/18iev1t/just_started_the_game_and_it_feels_boring/ Even people who love Red Dead Redemption 2 still complain about how long the opening takes. If GTA 6 does something similar, most players might not mind at first, since the hype will be huge and everyone will be excited. But later on, having a slow start with restrictions could end up being one of the things people don’t like about the game. For now, nothing is confirmed. Rockstar hasn’t released a GTA 6 trailer two, and all we know for sure is that GTA 6 is coming in Fall 2025 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Everything else is just theories and wishful thinking.
